10. “Because of the violence you did to Jacob, your relative,you will be covered with shame.You will be destroyed forever.
11. While you stood there doing nothing,strangers carried off Jacob’s wealth.Foreigners entered his gates and threw dice for Jerusalem.You acted like one of them.
12. Don’t gloat over your relative’s misfortuneor be happy when the people of Judah are destroyed.Don’t brag so much when they’re in distress.
13. Don’t march through the gates of my people when disaster strikesor gloat over their misery when disaster strikes.Don’t take their wealth when disaster strikes.
14. Don’t stand at the crossroads to kill their refugees.Don’t hand over their survivors when they’re in distress.
15. “The day of the Lord is near for all nations.Edom, you will be treated as you have treated others.You will get back what you have given.
16. As you, Israel, drank on my holy mountain,so all nations will drink in turn.They will drink and guzzle down everything in it.They will be like those who have never existed.
17. “But refugees will live on Mount Zion.It will be holy.The descendants of Jacob will get back their possessions.
18. The descendants of Jacob will be like a fire.The descendants of Joseph will be like a flame.But the descendants of Esau will be like straw.They will be burned and destroyed.There will be no one left among the descendants of Esau.”The Lord has spoken.
